47 Te Karaka Drive, Whakamarama, Tauranga & Surrounds

Expansive excellence on the Te Puna estuary

A superbly sunny sheltered waterfront setting where you enjoy the beauty of nature and the pleasure of life in a very generously designed high quality home. Share your concealed 1.1580 hectares with birdlife attracted by the wetlands below. Relish peace and privacy as you savour the warmth of the northerly aspect and the width of the estuary outlook. Embrace life in an expansive four year old home which spreads its living areas, master suite, office and guest suite along the views. The bright blue front door opens to a panorama enhanced by the light and airiness of peaked ceilinged, open plan living where white walls offset durable bamboo flooring. Stacking doors spill you out to covered and open deck. It's an entertainer's delight with gas fireplaces inside and out, along with ducted air conditioning which keeps the house warm in winter and cool in summer. An attractive and practical big butler's pantry with copious open shelving, smooth stone benches and double sink on the kitchen's social side. A separate lounge invites retreating to enjoy media or afternoon sunshine. The master suite is at the morning sun end of the home, the other bedrooms and office at the west end.
Blokes will love the quadruple garage and enviable workshop and 'man space'. The garaging also has its own toilet and kitchenette, and includes a store room in a home with already exceptional storage; plus, a laundry large enough to double as a sewing room. A utility area with raised vegetable gardens and a tractor shed is concealed behind the garage. The property is set back from the cul-de-sac end of the street, the drive scooping to ample parking space, where landscaped retaining adds interest. Lawns sweep from the home to the large pond on its lower fringe where yet another pond and the estuary provide views with variety.
A prime waterfront property in a prestige well established gated community which boasts a pavilion and a tennis court.
